You are just going to have to wait, even Netfront is taking it's sweet ass time for getting a finished product out. If you are in such a hurry to get a decent web browser for your PPC, why not just start making one yourself?

why are you defending it.
opera, a company that ONLY does web browsers has been destroyed by a company that specializes in hardware (yes, apple claims to be a hardware company)
guess I'll just switch to android.
screw microsoft, opera and everyone else that only reacts to competition, instead of innovating when they can.

in the same way that microsoft only released IE7 because of firefox, Opera will release mobile because of safari and android. terrible

Mobile browsing is not that great. Pocket IE is still the most predictable browser. I have tried Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, and Picsel. None of them come close to a desktop browsing experience. Plugins such as Flash, etc. either don't exist, are outdated, or don't auto-install. RTSP protocol for streaming video like CNN.com doesn't work. Online Java games like Yahoo Games don't work. AJAX sites don't work. The way you fill in web forms on Opera Mini is that it opens a full screen text box that completely blocks the view of the site you are browsing.

I can't wait for something useful to come out. At least 25%+ of the sites I go to don't even work 100%.

From what Ive read on another website, WebKit (which is the company that developed mobile safari) is actually developing a web browser for windows mobile. Here's the link & demo:

They didn't make the browser for the iPhone, Apple made it. They both use the same rendering engine though.

This tiresome MIE is what makes me want to get a UMPC and kill many birds with thousands of stones.............................. that way I won't miss .

I'm gunning for an Everun s6s, w/EVDO PCI... Its as big as a PSP but hey, it doesn't get any better than XP in the pocket.

*Ok I'm done with my little whine/rant*

I'll just stick to Netfront 3.4 till OM9 proves to be worth having (aka stable).

ohh the guy above me said they developed mobile safari :-p
